Your self-talk will influence your moods.

What you focus on will manifest in your life.

If you find that anxiety is a major part of your daily life then doing these exercises will help you turn your anxiety into excitement.

Self-talk can initiate or even aggravate a panic attack.

You see a panic attack can start off with these increasing physiological arousal such as more rapid heartbeat, tightness in your chest, or even sweaty palms.

Biologically this is the body’s natural response to stress.

The fight-or-flight response is normally experienced when we perceive a threat or danger.

Understanding what role/roles you play will help you understand your self-talk and how to change it.

Are you “the Worrier?”

This is usually one of the strongest super personalities in people who are prone to anxiety. 

“The Worrier” creates anxiety by imagining the worst-case scenario.

The worrier” promotes your fear of what is happening is dangerous or embarrassing.

In short “the Worrier” dominates your mind.

It anticipates the worse.

It overestimates the odds of something being bad.

Their favorite expression is “What if.”

Are you “the Critic?”

“This Critic”, promotes low self-esteem.

“The critic” is the part of you that’s consistently judging and evaluating your behavior. It tends to point out all of your flaws and limitations whenever possible. It jumps on any mistake that you make to remind you that you are a failure. 

The critic” might be that voice of your mother or father or that dreaded teacher or anyone who’s wounded you in the past.

Their favorite expressions would be, “That was stupid. What a disappointment you are.”

The typical critic self-talk would be, “You’re so stupid. You can’t get anything right. Why are you always this way?  You could have done better.”

You might be “the Victim.”

The victim” promotes depression.

“The victim” is the part of you that feels helpless and hopeless. 

It generates anxiety by telling you that you’re not making any progress. That your condition is incurable and that the road is too long and too steep for you to make any real recovery. 

Their favorite expression will be “I can’t. I’ll never be able to do that”. 

You see “the victim” holds negative self-beliefs as I’m hopeless and nothing is ever going to work out.

Maybe you are the perfectionist?

You see “the perfectionist” promotes chronic stress and burnout.

“The perfectionist” is closely related to the critic, but its concerns are less put on you putting you down and it pushes you to be better. 

It generates anxiety by constantly telling you that your efforts aren’t good enough.  

“The perfectionist” has a tendency to try to convince you that your self-worth is dependent on something outside of yourself such as money and status, acceptance by others, your ability to please, and how nice you are to others.

Regardless of what they do “the perfectionist” isn’t convinced by any notions of inherent self-worth but instead pushes into stress exhaustion and burnout trying to pursue these goals.

“The perfectionist,” favorite expressions will be “I should, I have to, I must.

“The perfectionist” may even provide instruction as “I should always be on top of things, 

I should always be considerate and unselfish,

I should always be pleasant and nice. 

I have to get that job.

I have to make this amount of money.

If you are like me then you might be a combination of the different roles.

Changing from negative self-talk to positive is the first step but you have to do it daily for 63 days to truly make a new habit/behavior.

Each day I want you to write down all your negative self-talk and then write a counter to it. Change the negative to a positive.

Now if you have some negative self-talk that’s just not that easy to switch over find a positive statement to say I want you to ask yourself these questions for those beliefs.

The first thing is you should only supplement when you are not getting enough minerals in your diet.

Eating a diet full of good healthy foods is the best way to get your minerals.

The sad fact is most individuals eat Frankenfoods that are depleted of any real nutrition and they cause a large number of health issues like Inflammatory gut disorders that decrease overall essential mineral absorption, so it is important to heal your gut first.

So let us look at the list below and see what changes you can make so you can absorb more minerals.

 Hypnotherapy and Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity is the ability for your brain to re-wire itself and hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, that can be used to strengthen your neural connections or create new neural pathways. Your brain is constantly changing and creating new pathways as a reaction to Your thoughts, Your emotions, and Your experiences.

Did you know that your brains contain about one billion neurons?

Every time you learn a new skill, have a new experience or think a new thought, you change your brain.

If you keep thinking the same thoughts and repeat the same behavior, you keep firing and wiring the same neural patterns. You create your behavior and how you responded to everything that happens in your life.

The words you tell yourself and the pictures you paint inside your mind will create your personal world.

If the words you say and the pictures you paint for yourself are positive, you’ll see positive results in your life.

If they are negative, you will see the negative.

If you are struggling with unwanted habits or emotions, you can learn how to change them. You have the power to change your life.

If you are not succeeding in business or in your personal life, you can learn to change the wiring of your brain so you can reach your full potential.

Hypnotherapy

The brain doesn’t make a distinction between imagined and real.

Do you remember watching a movie and knowing well, what you see on the screen is not real, but still being able to experience a range of different emotions?

Did you ever have a great dream or a nightmare?

Did you ever hear about the placebo and nocebo effects?

As you can see, you use your mind every day, every minute to heal you or to harm you. And every minute, you change your brain.

Your thinking reflects in your body.

Your body reacts to your thoughts.

Do your thoughts make you feel relaxed or stressed?

Do you feel optimistic or negative?

Hypnotherapy helps you access your subconscious mind and focus on what you want to create.

You will learn how to relax and experience in YOUR mind your vision. You will re-wire your brain and learn how to behave and think differently. By repeating the new thoughts and behaviors, you will create new neural pathways. You will literally change your brain as the brain will delete the neural connections, that are no longer needed.

If you want to experience in your life happiness, confidence, calmness, creativity, or resilience you have to think about the thoughts, that reflect those qualities.

Hypnotherapy is a great way to create changes in your life, but You need to be committed and work towards the goal.

Your life is the creation of Your mind.

L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is naturally produced by the body and is also found in certain foods such as beef, chicken, fish, and eggs. It plays a vital role in many bodily functions including protein synthesis, immune function, and gut health. Additionally, L-Glutamine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid, meaning that the body may not produce enough of it during times of stress or illness, and supplementation may be necessary to meet the body’s needs.

One of the lesser-known benefits of L-Glutamine supplementation is its potential to reduce sugar cravings. Sugar cravings are a common phenomenon that can be caused by a variety of factors including hormonal imbalances, stress, and nutrient deficiencies. Research suggests that L-Glutamine may help reduce sugar cravings by regulating blood sugar levels, increasing satiety, and improving overall gut health.

When L-Glutamine is consumed, it is converted to glucose in the liver, which can help stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent the sharp spikes and crashes that can lead to sugar cravings. Additionally, L-Glutamine has been shown to increase feelings of fullness and satiety, which can reduce the urge to consume sugary foods.

L-Glutamine may also improve gut health, which can play a role in reducing sugar cravings. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and cravings, and an imbalance in gut bacteria can lead to an increased desire for sugary foods. Studies have shown that L-Glutamine supplementation can improve gut barrier function, reduce inflammation, and increase the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, all of which can contribute to a reduction in sugar cravings.

This episode is also available as a blog post: http://health-of-it.com/2020/08/07/there-is-help-for-overeating/

Over 70% of overeaters are emotional and addictive eaters and emotional eaters use food to soothe unhappy feelings and to temporarily solve anger, loneliness, and unhappiness because eating temporarily switches off their negative emotions.

Another 20% are habitual and ignorant eaters, I call my Zombie Eater. Mindlessly eating whatever is sitting in front of you. Just eating to eat because it is that time of day. We have been taught to eat Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and 2 snacks a day. Eating because everyone else is eating.

WHY!!!! Because of Habit!

Then you will have 10% that are angry eaters, usually because they have been deprived of something. They are on a “DIET” and can’t eat XYZ or they are mad at boss/spouse they eat to show them who is in control.

Where do you fit in?

Negative eating habits really can be isolated and broken once and for all.

You can change your relationship with food for good.

Live a life where food is used as fuel for you to have endless amounts of energy and information for your body to function properly.

Say goodbye to unhealthy habits.

You are in control.

RTT is a solution-based treatment that is based on the science of neuroplasticity and combines the most beneficial principles of Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy, NLP, CBT, and Neuroscience.

Did you know that Stress and Adrenal function can affect sleep, particularly the circadian pattern of cortisol secretion by the adrenal glands? Circulating cortisol normally rises and falls throughout the 24-hour daily cycle, and is typically highest at around 8 AM and lowest between midnight and 4 AM. Both high and low nighttime cortisol levels can interrupt sound sleep. When the adrenals fatigue, adrenal hormone levels may become low, leading to another possible source of nighttime sleep disruption – low blood sugar.

Diurnal Cortisol Curves also called a four-point cortisol curve or circadian cortisol pattern

The normal rise in cortisol production is usually within 30 minutes of waking up. Cortisol levels then drop throughout the day, reaching their lowest point at around bedtime.

If you have prolonged stress demands this will cause higher than normal cortisol production throughout the day. Some symptoms are feeling “tired but wired,” food cravings, insomnia, and anxiety.

Chronic fatigue usually will show elevated morning cortisol with levels dropping off rapidly throughout the day. The symptoms of this show up as mid-day energy drops, drowsiness, along with poor exercise recovery.

The burnout, “adrenal fatigue” is really a reflection of low overall cortisol during the day. Your symptoms will be all-day-long fatigue, irritability, food cravings, insomnia, and exhaustion.

How can I lose 10lbs in a month for a special event compared to how do I lose 10lbs for better health?

If you need to drop the weight fast because you have a special event coming up then fasting (Intermittent and extended) and low carbs, high good fat, moderate protein is the best go-to plan.

If you want better health, and less pain and inflammation then fasting (Intermittent and extended) and low carbs, high good fat, moderate protein,  is the best go-to plan.

What? Wait these are the same lifestyles!!!

Yes, I know.

I found a way to do both with the same formate.

Let me explain.

3,500 calories = 1 pound of fat

So you need to eliminate about 3,500 calories from your diet to lose 1 pound.

If you cut about 500 calories a day from the diet, you’d lose about 1 pound of fat a week.

Now here is the Magic!!!

Water weight is 15.34 oz per lb.

1 Pound = 15.34 oz of Water!!

No, don’t stop drinking water to lose weight drink more water (100 oz with Himalayan salt), and eat fewer carbohydrates. (I wrote a blog on just what happens with the extra unused energy you get from carbohydrates.)

Why drink so much water?

That is a whole other blog post for this topic, but it helps to get rid of all the toxins in your body.

So to lose weight: Eat 500 fewer calories than your BMR and decrease your carbohydrates.
